A project log for Handheld Raspberry PI Retro Game Console

In this project I will be making a Nintendo Switch style retro game console

Hey guys, it's been a while! I promise I've been hard at work, though. Since the last update I have successfully wired up the RetroPSU from HelderTech as well as extended the LCD screen buttons out the the case so they are accessible wihtout having to open up the case. Pictures below.

The case only has 4 buttons for the screen on the outside, which is unfortunate because my screen has 5 buttons, so I'll have to figure out something for the last button eventually.

In the meantime, I've also started working on installing speakers. I salvaged a couple from an old laptop and soldered them to the case, but I am still trying to figure out how to get them to work. They aren't recognized by the RetroPie OS right now. After that I'll try and wire up the 3.5mm audio jack so it's accessible while the case is closed. Once that's finished i'll get the Raspberry Pi power button working and then the project will, most likely, come to a close.
